Xie Xuezheng ignored him, following his daughter around. "Ningning, Dad has something to say to you."
Xie Ning turned to face him. "What else is there to say?"
"Ningning." Xie Xuezheng quickly closed the small meeting room door and walked over to his daughter, speaking in a low voice. "All these years, Dad has been so busy with work that I've neglected you and your mother."
"I know I was wrong. Over this past year, I never should have delegated something as important as posting a mission to find you to... to Kang Yunru."
"I honestly didn't know Kang Yunru would pull these kinds of tricks behind my back. She never told me the truth about you and your mother. Not once."
"I had no idea things were like this. All these years, I've been completely buried in my research. It's my fault, all of it. I neglected you both..."
Xie Ning looked at the man before her and, for a moment, almost wanted to laugh.
